Basement Water Update

Got the water level down to merely "wet" except at the floor drain -- which has valved itself off until the storm/sewer drains return to normal. A pretty steady trickle of water still entering at all the cracks in the floor, of course.

Had to tape up cracked spots in the sump pump hose; and it's full-manual, so I can't just leave it running.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."
